Innovative policies building a better NSW with a thriving economy

At Investment NSW, we’re proud to unveil our latest policy documents and strategies. 

We’re building an economy fit for the future, one that is more productive and resilient. These policies reflect our commitment to empowering local industries, attracting global investment, and creating vibrant opportunities for all.   

With a focus on collaboration, inclusivity, and forward-thinking solutions, our strategies pave the way for a prosperous future. 

Explore our new policies below to see how we’re shaping a dynamic and resilient economy. 

The NSW Industry Policy provides a long-term vision and commitment to give businesses the confidence to invest and grow in NSW. It foresees a proactive role for government but one that is underpinned by close cooperation and coordination with industry and other stakeholders.

We’re focusing on advancing the government’s strategic priorities across net zero and energy transition, housing, and local manufacturing.

The NSW Innovation Blueprint 2035 is our 10-year plan to set out a long-term vision and policy priorities for the state’s innovation ecosystem to solidify NSW’s position as the innovation powerhouse of Australia and a global leader in high-value industries.

With 4 strategic goals and 5 key action areas, we will create more economic and social opportunities for the people of  NSW and help tackle the state’s most important challenges. 

The NSW Trade and Investment Strategy 2035 is a ten-year plan with clear targets to grow and diversify the State’s exports and attract investment to develop and strengthen new and existing industries and drive long-term economic prosperity.  

As the impacts of tariffs flow through global markets, NSW is strengthening its commitment to an open economy that champions free and fair trade, with diversification at the centre of our approach.
